Bronx woman arraigned in assault on husband

GOSHEN — A woman was arraigned Wednesday on an indictment charging her with stabbing her husband during a domestic dispute in the City of Newburgh.

Jackeline Valentin-Rodriguez, 32, of the Bronx, was arraigned in Orange County Court on charges of assault, a felony, and weapon possession, a misdemeanor.

Authorities said the assault occurred Aug. 23.

Assistant District Attorney Seth Altman told the judge Valentin-Rodriguez stabbed her husband in the side, causing injuries, including a ruptured spleen and damage to other internal organs that required multiple surgeries to repair.

Altman said she admitted to the stabbing, and a witness saw her leaving the scene with a knife.

Valentin-Rodriguez’s lawyer, Jean Hernon of the Orange County Legal Aid Society, entered a not guilty plea on her behalf.
